Gigi Dumont never forgot how
she walked away from the only man she ever loved.

She’s a teacher who has led her students to the finals of an international
French competition to be help in Paris. The night before the trip, the principal tries to
cancel the trip before he, in turn, loses his job to her high school boyfriend,
Sean Collins.

Sean Collins has survived cancer, a divorce, and Gigi having aborted their
child back in high school. He assumed he’d hate her, if they ever crossed paths
again. But he discovers she’s exactly what he wants.

When Gigi and Sean are stuck together for a week in Paris, Gigi feels she has lost all her control. How can she
survive her attraction to Sean? The man’s sexier now than he was back in the
day, and once upon a time, he’d had her heart. She finds herself falling for
him, even knowing forever is impossible.

She's become the Paly High girl with the most tragic story...At 17, Tally Landon just wants to graduate and leave for New York to pursue ballet. Her best friend Marla convinces her
to attend one last party--a college party--where she can be among strangers and
evade the whisperings about her heartbreaking loss that follows her everywhere
she goes. While at the party, she meets Lincoln Presley, Stanford's famous
baseball wonder and has a little fun at his expense--when she lies about her
age and who she really is--intent on being someone else for the night and
escaping her tragic story.

His only focus is baseball, but he can't forget the girl he saved on
Valentine's Day...
At 22, Lincoln Presley's star is on the rise; he's about to finish at Stanford
and expected to be taken early in Major League Baseball's upcoming draft. His
cousin's party serves as a welcome distraction. But then, he sees the girl from
Valentine's Day he saved from that horrific car accident; and he can't quite
hide his disappointment when she appears to look right through him and not
remember him at all. He vows to learn her name at least before he leaves.
What's the harm in getting to know this girl? What's the worst that can happen?

Fate soon tests these two star-crossed lovers in all kinds of ways...
And yet, despite the lies being told to protect the other, and the trappings of
fame that continually separate them, and in lieu of the deception by those
they've come to trust the most; one truth remains.

Once upon a time in New York City, there was a down-on-his-luck actor named Reeve, who
was talented and gorgeous in that dreamy, broody sort of way that makes all the
women swoon. But show biz is a rough biz - he lost out on a part in a big film,
and now his day job hours have been cut too. What's a handsome young thing in
need of a role to do? Enter Sutton Brenner. She's sexy and shrewd and the most
top-notch casting director there is. She's this close to landing a coveted gig
casting a film based on a best-selling mega-romance novel, but there's a catch.
After one too many transgressions with lovely single ladies, the film's
philandering producer has been put on a short leash by his wife, who's
forbidden him from working with anyone unattached. So the happily single Sutton
strikes a pact with Reeve - play the role of her fiancé until she closes the
deal, and he's guaranteed to get an audition for the starring role in the film.
But as the two play pretend, the lines between make-believe and matters of the
heart start to blur. Especially after that hot night in the balcony of the
Broadway theater. And that scorching afternoon in the stacks of the New York
Public Library. Who's playing who? Or is someone else really the director in
the secret affair of their lives?

him." ~Angie's Dreamy Reads

"There

was so sexy though, to hear him telling her all the places he wanted to kiss
her." ~Reality Bites

kayaking.
